ceipts Very little old Offering Burleys
are not used there. and vet business Is
| increasing rapidly. and all branches of
/ the tobacco business IS hourishing; the
factories take about all the good filters
/ produced i'm that section and vet we
/ hear constantly that nothing but "a
/ Western filler win sell-thai is, so
many plug men say so, as an excuse for
not using bright Virginia filters All
/ the North Carolina tobacco markets
show much activity in factory and ware
/ house building Notwithstanding the short
crop 10 De handled this year, they eX-
pect big prices To- make mp for loss IN

/ deal of inferior new has been marketed
already, much TO the disappointment OF
